But: 1) Why may the provides-container exist but isn't demanded? What use might a package have that doesn't provide anything? 2) Every changelog-item is also of type "release". But do you really think a complete changelog should include the "filelist" for every release? With some packages this might extremely increase the size of the package.xml. Is it useful for anything? All other things seem to work fine. Will update the package.xml-files in CVS according to the dtd as soon as the above mentioned points can be cleared. Stefan
